Bermuda Post Office Rate Modernization 2015– V 4.0 – June 22, 2015 2
Introduction & Purpose
The Bermuda Post Office (hereafter referred to as “the BPO”) will effect a rate change and modernization of
its postal products as of July 1st, 2015 for local and international Letter Mail, Parcels and International Data
Express (IDE). The BPO has not had a rate increase on the majority of it products since 2000 in
consideration of increased global cost for handling, transporting and remittance owed to partner’s in terminal
due.
The 2015 Rate Modernization Project will adjust rates in respect to cost, while taking the opportunity to
modernization the postal product categories, weight increments and transit route references (where
applicable) for local and international mail. This document is to be used as a guidance document by the BPO
and any interested stakeholders to implement any manual or computer code program in a Bermuda Postage
Rate calculator.
Business Requirements
Legislation
In accordance with the Post Office Act 1900 (hereafter referred to as “the Act”), section 7 (2) “The Minister
may, by Post Office Regulations, fix the rates of postage and other sums to be charged in respect of postal
packets under this Act, and regulate the scale of weights and the circumstances according to which those
rates and sums are to be charged, and the power of the Postmaster-General, with or without the consent of
the Minister, to remit any such rates or sums.”
The procedure for prescribed rates in accordance with the Act, is referenced in section 68 (2), “the negative
resolution procedure shall apply to Post Office Regulations.” The Post Office Regulation 1933 (hereafter
referred to as “the Regulations”) identifies in part the BPO’s products and service with applicable rates and
scale of weights. The regulation is a statutory instrument in Bermuda by provision of the law and the chang-
es will have legislative effect as of July, 1st, 2015.
Business Opportunity/Problem
The BPO has many stakeholders who will be affected by a Postal Rate Modernization:
The BPO as a public authority is accountable to the Bermuda public for its operations.
The BPO as a member of the Universal Postal Union is accountable to that body for the manner in
which it handles and charges for local and international mail products.
The BPO has many vested industry partners both local and international that provide service to, on
behalf of, in conjunction with and under license or contract.
Bermuda Post Office
Bermuda Post Office Rate Modernization 2015– V 4.0 – June 22, 2015 3
Any changes in products and service directly affect all stakeholders and the BPO must be clear in its
direction for the required rate change.
To ensure the successful implementation of the 2015 Rate Modernization Project the BPO will provide
necessary guidance to all concerned stakeholders. It is understood that stakeholders will have to commit
resources to facilitate any rate change and industry experience has shown the speed of stakeholder’s adoption
is directly dependent on the BPO communications.
Business Objective
To provide all stakeholders a guidance document containing all of the BPO product information necessary to
successfully implement the rate modernization within their respective remit. This document will identify all
active postal products and services with description, scale of weights to be used and postal rates chargeable.
The document will also provide an International Airmail Zone Matrix for international letter mail in
determining the correct rate to use when shipping a letter mail product from Bermuda to a particular
destination country.
Similar to International Airmail Zone, the document will contain a Parcel and IDE Transit Matrix for
determining correct rate to use when shipping an International Parcel or IDE products to a particular
destination country.
To ensure that stakeholders have the correct active product information with respective rates to be used all
discontinued mail products will be specifically identified so stakeholder can removed or voided these
products from future reference.
The Bermuda Post Office offers additional products and services that are germane to its operations and are
not considered part of the 2015 Rate Change Project. Those particular products and service remain
unchanged and include:
Post Office Box Rentals Fees and Late Fee
International Redirection Service
Hold Mail Service
Custom Clearance Fee
